How do I take care of my moods

How do I take care of myself every day? Here are the things I do to take care of my emotions: 1 I always have snacks, fruit, and lime water with me, so I don’t feel dehydrated, or hungry, when I’m out doing things. 2 I try to pee when I need to. If the place I planned to go doesn't have a washroom, I will change my plan and go somewhere else, just because I need to pee. 3 I always wear comfortable shoes. If my shoes don’t feel comfortable, I will stop walking and go home, rather than going to more places. 4 I breathe deeply in a park, or under some trees in the morning after getting up, to get enough oxygen into my whole body, to fill my gut and my brain with fresh and delicious oxygen. 5 I try not to stare at my phone for too long, because if I’m using my phone too much I will feel anxious. I only look at it when I need to. I reply to people’s messages with videos, so I don’t need to type. 6 I try to avoid noises. Noises from the lawn mower, for example, or noises from a truck. If I’m in a subway and I can’t avoid the noises, I will put on my headphones and listen to meditation music to massage my brain, and block out these noises. 7 If I feel stuck, upset, or sad, I will go and sit under trees and smell their scents. It’s my safe place, and I do that all the time. Trees' scents relax my nerves, I love absorbing their fresh scents. Take 5 deep breaths, and let each inhale and exhale last for 20 seconds altogether. 8 Spend two minutes to appreciate what you have, and thank yourself for who you are. 9 Be grateful that you are alive. 10 Take 5 minutes to think about what inspired you recently. 11 Send messages to yourself about your desires, your needs. Recognize your needs and your desires. Show support and recognition to your inner voice. Be your own buddy, and be here for yourself. 12 Try to understand what sorts of painful feelings have been sticking to you and express them by writing them in your notebook, or by writing yourself a message on your phone. Put these thoughts out there and let them go when you are washing your hands, or taking a shower. Don’t bring them with you to your room. 13 When you are really grumpy, tell yourself what has been going well today. 14 Do an unusual thing. We have patterns to our thoughts, and sometimes that’s why we are stuck in some mood. But luckily, we are easily distracted by new things. So I will try to go to an unusual place, accept invitations that I don’t normally accept, and walk on a different street. I will even do something I have been avoiding to surprise myself. Surprises are gifts from life. 15 Don’t push yourself to do too many things in a day. But treat yourself like your best friend. If you hear yourself saying that you feel stressed, or tired, remember to take it easy and not to try to do everything all at once. 16 If I feel really awful and I don’t want to do anything, and I can’t appreciate myself, that means I’m in a bad mood and I’m not feeling positive. Then I will take a break, and do nothing 17 I avoid being with people too much, and give yourself some time to not listen, and not talk. 18 I am respectful and loving to people, but I don’t try to satisfy people’s expectations of me I don’t take people’s expectations of me personally. If people are blaming you for something you are not willing to do, let it be. You need to take care of yourself too. Sometimes it means saying 'no'. 19 Try to be flexible in all situations, to whatever comes, rather than trying to ask everything to go as planned, or try to demand people to do things the way we want. 20 I try not to eat ice cream or any desserts. Personally when I have too much sugar, I will have a blue mood the next day, probably due to sugar withdrawal syndrome. If I really want to have ice cream, instead I will have some blueberries, or some pineapple, or papaya. 21 I always take a shower when I get home to relax my muscles and my nerves, washing off my stresses and relaxing my tense mind. 22 I massage my brain with healing music before I go to sleep. This is the most important thing I do every day. We can easily get affected by sounds, and meditation music could help to balance our brain, and relax our mind. Setting some time to close your eyes and listen to meditation music, rather than getting addicted to your phone before you sleep will bring you peace into your mind. I believe we are the environment we are in, and we are easily affected by our environment. so we need to take time and effort to look after our body, our mind, and our heart, and be aware of how we react to things. Pay attention to what makes us feel peaceful, and what destroys our peace. It's a constant journey to try to understand yourself . #yuliku
